Samantha in Wunderland!

Well! Long time no post!! What a start to the year we have had....firstly Nige (up to now) has been at home the last 5 weeks with a virus. Not a well boy! Then about three weeks ago I managed to come down with a bout of gastric flu. Ewwwww I have never felt so ill, much rather go through child birth than that again, or even my hysterectomy. The stomach cramps were horrific, just glad Nige was at home, cus I think I would have been in hospital if he wasn't. I slept for 5 days & didn't really get out of bed for 10...madness!! Anyhoos all good now thankfully. Hope you are all ok & well? Hugs for those that need them xx

Sorry to hear you and your OH have both been so unwell. I had gastric flu once, and couldn't get off the bathroom floor for 24 hours, so you have my every sympathy.

Glad you have cheered yourself up with this super cute creation!
